Importing Salesforce Reports and Campaigns

The Act-On integration with Salesforce allows you to import your Salesforce reports and campaigns as lists to use in Act-On, allowing you to market directly to your CRM contacts and leads. In addition, you can synchronize these lists between Salesforce and Act-On to ensure accuracy in your database.

Import your Salesforce lists

Click on Contacts, and choose Marketing Lists

Click Import, and select any of the available marketing lists

Select the fields that you wish to import

Click Finish

Repeat steps 2 to 4 for every Salesforce report or campaign you wish to import

Remember to select the lead score field that you've created in Salesforce to ensure Act-On pushes this data to Salesforce

Click Run Now to run immediately, or Schedule to schedule the synchronization.

The Salesforce Sync setup allows you to schedule the frequency with which you would like Act-On to either send and/or receive data to and from Salesforce or to run a sync immediately once the data parameters are set.

Note: Most accounts have a limit of 10 scheduled exports. To increase this limit, speak to your Account Manager.

Data exchange options
